Guardian Node Rewards
This document explains how Guardian Node operators are rewarded for their contributions to the Noderr network.
Reward Calculation
Guardian Node rewards are calculated based on several factors:
- Uptime: The percentage of time your node is online and responsive.
- Governance Participation: Your level of activity in the Guardian Chamber.
- Security Contributions: Your contributions to the security of the protocol.
- TrustFingerprint Score: A higher score leads to a higher reward multiplier. Guardian Chamber participation requires a TrustFingerprint of at least 0.70.
Rewards are distributed in NODR tokens and are sourced from protocol revenue-sharing (a share of the node reward pool), not from a fixed per-tier APY.
Guardian Reward Targets
Guardian Node economics are anchored to the following canonical figures:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Required stake | 50,000 NODR (~$35,000 at the $0.70/NODR reference price) |
| Target annual rewards | ~$9,000 at full activation |
| Reward source | Revenue-share from the node reward pool (split 30/30/30/10 across Oracle/Guardian/Validator/Micro), funded by the 40% node allocation of protocol revenue |
| Activation requirements | Governance approval plus a protocol-minted Utility NFT |
| Unstaking period | 21 days (unified across all node tiers) |
Guardians carry tier-based voting power of 4x in governance (versus Micro 1x, Validator 2x, Oracle 7x).
